Answer 1

What is the maximum number of electrons that can have the quantum numbers n=3, l= 2, ml= -2?

Solution

Any electron in atom has a unique set of 4 quantum no.

Now three quantum no. are given the fourth is spin quantum no. That has value of +ve/- ve1/2 showing spin upwards and downward respectively

Answer : 2 electrons can have quantum numbers given in question
